Once upon a time $450 would have bought you a lifetime supply of mixed lollies from the milkbar – these days it provides you with a three day festival and camping pass to the Splendour In The Grass Festival in Woodford Queensland, and it looks like 30,000 Australians have decided to forego $450 worth of mixed lollies to go to the festival instead, because unsurprisingly it’s sold out. Featuring possibly the strongest festival lineup ever seen in Australia, tickets were all snapped up within hours of going on sale.
Inevitably a slew of sideshows featuring bands from the lineup have been announced – see below for a head spinning selection of gigs in your town.
